6:45 am
are concentrating on the southern part of new hampshire. mitt romney, rick santorum, night gingrich and john huntsman are all visiting nash came, man chas -- nashua, manchester, concord and other cities in new hampshire. romney is in the lead and the opponents are making their final appeals to voters. >> i'm somebody who believes in putting my country first. [ applause ] >> mr. romney apparently believes in politics first. i say that's the problem in this country right now. you hear what i'm saying? that's the reason we're not pulling together as people because everything's politicized as opposed to remembering that we are americans first and foremost. and that's the only way we're going to be able to solve our problems longer term is when we recognize that and get leadership that can begin to pull us together. >> i don't think winning is enough. i think winning has to be
6:46 am
purposeful and has to lead to decisive and fundamental change. and to do that you can't just have an isolated candidate. you have to have a team because our constitution is a team sport. >> huntsman did not campaign in iowa ahead of last week's caucuses choosing instead to focus his attention on tomorrow's new hampshire primary while gingrich came in fourth place in the iowa caucuses. 6:47 right now. want to go right to george and get an update on the hot spot, this slowdown on ene >> this resulted from an earlier occurring accident that has been cleared to the center divider but it's still grabbing enough interest and creating a big mess in the east bay for 580 westbound coming from the richmond-san rafael bridge and for interstate 80. in fact, let's take the drive on 80 westbound. ñ of the backup. heading down past the richmond
6:47 am
parkway, there's san pablo where it starts to slow. then really grinds to a halt for that lower east shore freeway ride as you head down now toward university avenue in berkley which is the location of the incident. again all the lanes are clear. it's in the center divider but it's still tying up the ride. look at the drive time now. it's climbed to 34 minutes from hercules to berkley. that is a big mess. also take a look at what's happening in san francisco on the james lick freeway southbound. a stall here blocking the right- hand lane. this is just north of hospital curve right at the ups building. so it's backing up traffic on the inbound central freeway. look for traffic to be slow now almost from the octavia street expressway. you're better off taking the boulevard south down to cesar chavez and getting on 101 southbound there. here's a bridge check for you as we head first to the bay bridge. and despite predictions that today might have been a busier today, it sure doesn't appear
6:48 am
to be, although don't forget a lot of the traffic that would be at the bay bridge is held up right now along interstate 80. so that's a break for anyone coming from the nimitz or coming from highway 24 or 580 to mcarthur freeway. 92, the san mateo bridge delay free here with no problems in either direction. and the golden gate bridge ride still problem free as well. volume up kp7séa bit, though, o southbound side. the time is 6:48. it's time for a check of the weather for you now. let's head to the weather center and james fletcher. george. the horizon beginning to lighten up just a little bit. away from sunrise. already seeing clear skies out there with what light there is. clear and cold. valley frost a possibility, especially in the north bay where we're seeing freezing and subfreezing temperatures. mostly sunny this afternoon. we're looking for mild temperatures in the low to mid- 60s. we'll keep with the clear conditions as we head into the overnight hours which means expect another cold night tonight heading into tomorrow
6:49 am
morning. visibility as we head fine. a lot of clear skies. the only fog we're getting is minor stuff out in the central valley. we're doing pretty good this morning. the temperatures, boy, take a look. 125 in novato. 29 in santa rosa. below freezing in napa and fairfield. the north bay definitely the coldest part of the bay area this morning. let's also include in that the inlandest bay valleys. 32 degrees in concord. the 680 ride is going to be right there near the freezing mark. warming to 34 toward livermore. san jose 40 degrees on tap. 43 in mountain view. looks like san francisco is coming in at 47. all in all a cold start. by 9:00 after the sun comes up, we should see enough warming that we'll say goodbye to the 30s and some of those 20s we're seeing up there. we'll replace those with solid 40s and 50s and then by about noontime we'll see more 60s come into view. a lot more green by 2k-bg in the -- 2:00 in the afternoon.
6:50 am
we're looking for low to mid- 60s with the clear skies. the clear skies do begin to diminish a little bit as we head into tuesday. we have cloud cover headed our way. clouds for sure. the winds will pick up a little bit. will there be rain as the system pushes on through? that's the big question. at this point it looks like we only have about a 20% chance of seeing sprinkles around the bay area. if we do, we'll only see accumulations about a tenth of an inch or less. it isn't a big system and not a long lasting one either. it will only be with us through the overnight hours on tuesday and wednesday right on through the weekend we're back to that ñ sunny and mild weather pattern as high pressure reholds or regroups around the bay area. at 6:51 that's the weather. >> thank you, james. san francisco's new sheriff is sworn in but it was amid controversy over a domestic abuse inquiry. here's video of ross mirkarimi on the campaign trail earlier in the year. there was an incident between him and his wife on new year's eve. his wife issuing a statement saying the allegations are

6:52 am
